BlacKkKlansman has all of the subtlety
that its title would suggest, and feels nearly as pointlessly gimmicky as well.
One would think that Spike Lee was the perfect director to herald this project,
but gone are the days of Do the Right
Thing, or even Malcolm X. Although
BlacKkKlansman still has Lee’s
signature righteous anger over issues of race in America, the screenplay’s insistence
that we see the connection to our current political climate becomes overbearing.
